As a profoundly gifted child the having the Internet would have transformed my life. If I had had access to the knowledge I have access to now I would have been where I am now at 32 by the time I went to University at 20. I would probably not have fallen into the dark depression in my teens, induced primarily by boredom. It is going to be exciting to see what the exceptional people of the next generation will look like, very exciting :)

I thought along the same lines of what having the internet would have meant in terms of supercharging my progress as well, but also thought about the number of easy distractions it provides. Would you have been where you are at 32 in terms of knowledge, or would you have spend 80 percent of your time leveling up on Wow or some other easy temptation? Always helps to reflect on the total context of the situation.
